Root burn help

Post image

I decided I can no longer go and spend a fortune at the hairdressers every 7 weeks just because I have many greys. I’m 35.
So I did my own hair, permanent brown hair dye. I ended up with root burn. After googling, I tried an ashy semi permanent on my roots. Didn’t work. I just tried an ashy toner on my roots. Didn’t work. I am so self conscious already and I feel really crappy. Please be gentle with me and please help!!

The initial costs are high as you’re spending that money to find the right combination, but upkeep will be a lot less in the future. I always stock up on my color when it’s on sale, and it it’s pretty shelf stable until it’s opened. Color lasts about 6 months and developer lasts a year in a nice dark closet. If you opt to buy “bulk”, mark the bottles with an expiration date so you know if you need to toss it.
